We get this article or similar every window. I hate it every time.

Would rather hear nothing than gloom and doom.

At least there wasn't the dreaded 'overheated' word though I suppose.

How exactly is it doom and gloom? It is a massively textbook comment. We are looking for the right player(s), if we don't get them I am comfortable with what I have. I know it is NSC but do you not see how this is a major over reaction to a very typical transfer window quote that many managers will be saying.

Quite.

Hughton is hardly going to come out and say "To be honest mate, we're f**ked unless we get a couple of players in. Lord knows this lot can't keep this pace up"

CH said we weren't looking for anyone at all a couple of weeks back and then Neil Warnock said we were in for the same striker as Cardiff. It's best ignored largely, he isn't going to give anything away.

Like some others have said, most of our work is completed in the last few days of the window generally. So a little time to wait yet

Let's face it the argus is just writing for the sake of writing and usually its a load of b******s.

Sunday is always a great day for a singing.

Blue Valkyrie · Jan 17, 2017

Halfway through the window, just OUTS so far in the senior squad.

Will we get anyone in before the Huddersfield game ?

Just 14 days to go to make a singing.

Ernest · Jan 17, 2017

Everyone other team are making BIG singings but we are doing as we always do , NOTHING. If we blow promotion this will be the reason why

BensGrandad · Jan 17, 2017

I am not concerned that we havent made any signings but do believe promotion is geared for this year or not for some considerable time probably 3 - 5 years

I agree. It's promotion or bust this season. If we don't go up I don't think we'd be in relegation trouble. But we'd lose most of our best players to Prem teams, And may even lose Hughton, A couple of midtable finishes while bringing in and developing young talent beckons whilst we try to balance the books a bit. Then go for play offs in the seasons after.

Hopefully none of that will happen. And we'll be in the premier league come August.

Some people were saying the same last season.

So, maybe or maybe not :shrug:

If we not do it this year can TB sustain the expenditure, only he knows the answer.

I find frustrating that some would like us to sign any player, rather than the right one.

Russell? Is he really an improvement? Would we sign him and then drop him should we reach the PL? If so, what is the point?

Could Towell not provide a degree of cover for Baldock. There is also each of the four wingers each being capable of playing off Murray.

I agree about Towell hence I would go full pelt for Keane with an offer of a 1 yr extension if we get promoted. Murray and Keane might not be the combination to strike fear in the Premier defences but would be good back up.

To old for me. Been playing in a nothing league and whilst the experience is always useful, I really don't think he'll add anything else. Just an opinion.

I like Judge but is he fit/recovered?

Another thought (if SB was to get injured) is we could move to an attacking 4-5-1/4-3-3, with March and Knocky pushed right up alongside GM, and a midfield of Kayal Stephens and Sidwell/Norwood. I kinda want to see that now actually.

Judge is apparently very expensive and could he do it in the Premier? It is not known and taking a chance on both his ability and his injury record. If we are going to spend money I would sooner look at Lidbetter at Middlesbro or possibly Huddlestone at Hull.

Weren't Newcastle linked with signing Judge for £650k ?

Valued on transfermarket site at £2.13m I know that isnt gospel but must be a reasonable indication that he would be in excess of £1.5m probably, certainly not £650k.
